Am I an alcoholic?

Alcoholism runs in my family, my grandfather died of it and my father is an alcoholic. I’m very conscience of that fact. I like to drink, I like the taste of alcohol. I would say most evenings I do drink. I used to drink until I was drunk and I don’t do that anymore, but still like to have 1 or 2 every night. It’s pretty rare I’m hung over but also rare I go a day or 2 without drinking. It’s always an evening thing. I don’t like to day drink on the weekends. I would prefer to work all day or be active or productive, then at 6 pm it’s time to sit down and start drinking. I’ve tried to just limit it to the weekends, that will last a week or two, then the habit slips back in. I’ve told myself if I can’t keep it to Friday Saturday and Sunday I need to quit. I haven’t been able to keep it to those days and at this point I want to quit because I can’t keep that discipline going. To be perfectly honest I feel like I could quit, but I’d rather try and control it. I like the taste, I like the buzz, I like the social part of it ( makes me more social) I look forward to a calm relaxing evening and it’s just part of that process. My concern is I’m 50 now, I’m loosing motivation to consistently work out, I have high blood pressure and my energy level is down. I don’t know how much of it is age and how much is the drinking habit. Actually I know it’s a big factor because if and when I do take 4-5 days off and exercise and eat right I feel a lot better. I’m worried I’ll be bored all the time, and I will miss it if I quit. I know it would be better to just quit. Ideally I would quit Mon-Thursday , and then weekends Friday saturday no more than 4 and Sunday no more than 2. I could keep this going if it wasn’t for vacations, holidays, evening out week days with friends. Once one of these falls during the week and I start it becomes a habit again! Do I need to quit all together!??
